Ego
is the
only
evil.

AGE
So what
will you do
when
age
happens to you?
WHEATHER
I wonder whether
it’s you or the weather
that needs to change.
ENLIGHTENMENT
Sit down
shut up
and watch.
FAME
Just let me know
when
my fifteen minutes are up.
GOLF
The Battle of Patrician was fought on a golf course
where bodies strew the tees and sand pits;
slaughter smeared the fairways
and wails rang from beneath the toppled carts;
heads rolled down the green
and well I suppose that’s what happens to golf courses.
DELIVERY
I’d like to think
that I can wait weeks or days,
but I don’t know who I’ll be by then.
FALLING
What happens
to all those little leaves
in the forest fall?
GOOD
Doing bad
because it is good
is only right.
ACT
Come now:
the night is whispers and smiles
and everybody knows it anyway;
so cut the act and lay it out
in the dark where everyone can see.
